What is the maximum sulfur emissions in tons/day of sulfur dioxide that can be released in the LA air basin and not exceed the California Ambient 24 hr average Air Quality Standard (for this problem, assume area of 4000 km2 and 500 m mixing height, average wind velocity west to east of 1 m/s, Temp 298 K, Pground level = 1 atm, air residence time 3 days) —assume all pollutants trapped in this range. Be sure to note that pressure changes with altitude, please be sure that error in pressure used is no more than 5% for problem.

Values:

Standar SO2 emssion per day: 0.04 ppm/day

Volume: Area x height = 4000 km2x0.5km=2000 km3 or (2x1012 m3) or (2x1015 L)

Aire velocity: 1 m/s

Time: 3 days or (72 hrs) or (4320 mins) or (259200 seg)

Mol of SO2:

SO2 molecular weight: 64 g/mol

Mass of SO2:

or (2.36x105 mg) or (2.36x108 mcg)

Process:

Mass of SO2:
